Dear Juno or Any Other Person in the Same Situation,
My name is Megan. I am 17 years old and am currently a senior at Foothill Technology High School. I have the utmost respect for your decision to give your baby up for adoption, because I myself am adopted, and with the case of Roe v. Wade and the Fourteenth Amendment, you are protected, as well as your privacy and choice as a woman.
But... c'mon, YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE SEX JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE BORED. Especially when you're not even being smart about it, and not using birth control! But in my opinion, at the end of the day, you made the right decision to give your baby up for adoption. There are plenty of moms out there just like my mom, who want a baby so bad, and can't have one due to medical issues or other personal reasons, and you gave Vanessa the ability to have one. You realized that you weren't ready to take care of a baby (as we all knew), and I think that was very mature of you.If I were in your shoes, I would have given up the baby for adoption too. But I wouldn't have been in your shoes, because why not be smart about it from the beginning?
Lastly, I would have to say to keep in contact with that baby, and Vanessa. Reach out to them later in life to meet the baby that was once yours. It's truly so important to me to talk to my birth family every so often, so I'm guessing it will be for that adopted baby too when she is grown! Next time, you'll hopefully make the right decision from the beginning, and won't land yourself in such a predicament. Good luck Juno or any other person in the same situation!
